In the year 1877 there was considerable excitement at this point concerning treasure, which some people still firmly believe reposes hidden in the neighborhood. The story probably orig- inated with the plundering of the mission by the pirate Bouch- ard, in the year ISIS, as related in Chapter VII. We copy the following from the Los Angeles Herald of February, 1877 :
DIED TREASURE.
County School Superintendent Suxon returned from San Juan Cap- istrano yesterday. He found the people of that burg in a high state of excitement, and the population had turned out en masse in search of treasure trove. It appears that there has been a tradition for a long time in San Juan that a pirate vessel, at some remote time. bad landed in the little cove and debarked a large amount of treasure, vuriously estimated at from three to ten million dollars. The pirates aresumed to have buried the " swag"-the spoils, doubtless, of many a sunken galleon-some four ur five miles from San Juan, The story has been repeated a little oftener than usual lately ; and as a conse. quence, a search for the treasure began the other day. Pick and spardle were brought into requisition, and the Jauds in the neighborhood of San Juan which had anything like a hiding-place look about them, began to show as though a drove of energetic hogs had been rooting around. The owners of the property implored the interposition of Judge Hick Kagan to protect their vested rights, but the pick and »hovel brigade begged for just two more days, and the request was granted. If there does not prove to be " millions iu it" by that time, they are willing to forego further search. The sum total of the quest so far has been the finding of a handsome chased silver crucifix, which the displacement of a brick brought to light.
The mission property at this time, including the old mission huiklings, comprises about lifty aeres. The title has long been in litigation between the Roman Catholic Church and Don Inan Forster (who had held possession for thirty-five years), lut has recently been adjudged by the Supreme Court to rest in the church. The most valuable portion is the old olive orchard of about thirty-nine acres, planted by the carly padres, and still in vigorous bearing. Very little effort has been made to put this crop to any profitable use, and the fruit is entirely consumed by the resident natives.
This place might well le styled the " Sleepy Hollow" of the Pacific coast. A soft, dreamy, semi-tropical languor surrounds and pervades everything. Bowered amid rolling hills, even the ontlines of these environing bulwarks are rendered soft and imlistinrt by the all-surrounding haze. Through a rift in
these the ocean may be seen some two miles away. Here the valley opens on a Hat and sandy beach which affords most excellent bathing, with only two slight pull-backs; viz., the presence of smundry stingarees and man-eating sharks, which here do congregate, and hold high carnival.
The village has a population of from three hundred and fifty to four hundred persons, principally Mexicans, and is supported almost entirely by the sheep interest of the neighborhood, which is estimated by Mr. Eagan at one hundred thousand head -one million pounds of wool per annum. The cattle interest in the neighboring county of San Diego also pays tribute to this place. many of the vaqueros living here.
A great drawback to the prosperity of the place, is want of a convenient market. The embarcadero is useless for want of wharves and warchouses, and all produce must be hauled to Newport, twenty miles away.
The town is not incorporated, but is patented in a lump as a town site under the general Act, and the County Judge issues dreds to the settlers. There is a school-house, telegraph office, post-office, two stores, hotel, four saloons, ete., and perhaps forty or fifty dwelling-houses-principally adobe. A daily stage cach way, between Los Angeles and San Diego, passes through the village and connects it with the outside work]. This stage car- ries the mail.
Of greatest interest to the visitor are the crumbling ruins of the old mission, which are situated almost in the cen- ter of the village. The original building (with their out-lying walls,) covered about ten acres of ground, and consisted of a main church edifice and numerous ont-buildings, all of hewn stone, stucco, brick and adobe. Since its destruction by the earthquake of 1812, but one attempt has been made to re- build this mission, and that was unsuccessful, owing to want of skill in those who undertook the task. The only building now habitable is the chapel, which is of adobe, and about twenty by one hundred feet inside measurement. The walls are white-washed, and everything within is old, dingy, cheap and cheerless. The floor is of red brick, and the bare beams and boards overhead reveal the cobweb drapery of a past century. Tbe only attempts at adorment consists in an oll painting of the Crucifixion, by José Francisco Zervin, hearing date 1800: two oll paintings of very melancholy and dyspeptic- looking saints, and a few small stations. A wheel of bells, turned in a rickety frame like a grind-stone, furnishes music (Heaven save the mark !) to the service, which is conducted by Padre Joseph Mut.
Outside, four eracked bells, hung under a broken arch, call the faithful to prayers. Here the owl and the bat inhabit, the ground squirrel and the coney burrow undisturbed. An at- mosphere of mild decay surrounds the whole, and odors-not ol' sanctity- haunt the walls.
CHAPTER XLVI.
ISLANDS.
Santa Catalina Island-Description Thereof-Ownership-Stock-Indian Relics-San Clemente Island-Description-Stock-Substitute for Water.
THERE are two islands comprised within the limits of Los Angeles county, viz. : Santa Catalina, and San Clemente.
Santa Catalina is the most important. It contains forty-eight thousand eight hundred and twenty-five and twenty-five one- hundredths acres of land. and is owned by the heirs of James Lick, deceased; this gentleman in company with - Ray and others of San Franciseo having purchased it from the United States Government iu 1864 for twelve thousand dollars.
In November, 1874. this is'and was offered for sale by Mr. Liek's heirs. The price asked was one million dollars. It had formerly been held at one million five hundred thousand dol- lars. A purchaser was not found.
The island is distant twenty miles from the coast. It is rough and hilly, some of the peaks rising to a heighth of two thou- sand six hundred feet. It is now used almost entirely for sheep pastorage-formerly for rattle.
There are good indications of silver and lead in different por- tions of the island, and persons are still living thereon, who for years have prospected for these metals without financial result. It is entirely destitute of timber and but poorly watered.
The island has evidently been at one time densely populated by Indians. Many relies have been found, viz., earthen pots, stone weapons, bones and ashes of the dead. An interesting collection of these has Intely been taken to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, D. C.
It is a place of much resort in the summer-time, for fishing and bathing. A large portion of the fish used in Los Angeles are supplied from its fishing-grounds.
There is an excellent land-locked harbor on the west side, near the north end of the island. During the civil war it was used as a military station.
The island of San Clemente lies about sixty miles from the coast aud about twenty miles south of Santa Catalina. It is some twenty miles in length and varies from three to ten miles in width. It is composed principally of rolling hills, and is used for sheep pastnage only. No persons reside there and the owners of sheep visit it only twice a year, when they go to shear the flocks. There is no fresh water on the island, and the sheep use as a substitute a species of the herb siempre viva. which grows thereon. It is rarely visited by human beings save at shearing time, as above. There are many traces of former Indian occupation, similar to those found on Santa Cat- alina. There are a few large sycamore trees near the east side. This island has never been patented, and is still Government property.
